I need to determine the body fat percentage of middle childhood children. But BIA scales won't work in those age group. Kindly suggest me any formula which can work in this age group through skinfold measurements or any other ways.

Greetings!
You can find the required formula for fat mass percentage and fat mass index based on BMI, age and sex on the following link:

Also, in supplementary materials, you can find Excel table with calculations, you only need to enter your numbers.
Hope it is helpful.
